e99 oil leak
Hello,
recently I did some work to the truck that required me to remove the turbo and pedestal. When I finished.... obviously there is now a terrible leak from either the pedestal or the turbo where it meets the pedestal. This is also the EBPV... I replaced the o rings when I noticed the garden hose of oil leaking. changed the O rings and the leak still remains (less of a leak but still terrible). Hoping I can find some help here. Also before I did this work the truck didn't leak a drop of oil.
Thanks

Which o rings did you replace, the turbo seals or the EBPV?
It's pretty easy to dislodge the turbo o rings when installing the turbo, so that's my first guess. Sucks to do that job again, sorry. Keep the turbo o rings in place with a dab of petroleum jelly during install.
Also mind the clamp on the collector to the turbo, easy to misalign and get an exhaust leak there.
